WOOHOO! Good weather = time to build

Over the past few weeks, have been thinking about the backdrop, and of course, when you are involved in the conversation, backdrops just pop into my head. I ran across an article in an old MR that showed how to take slides and project them on the wall to sketch the trees and buildings and such, then it went into some detail how to do the paint. I am thinking that I can borrow a multi-media projector from work, and with a laptop, project beckground images on the walls and go from that. I'll use photos taken around the industrial areas here in Houston.

I saw a projector at an office supply store - Christmas special - less than 100 bucks (!!!). I'm always amazed at the way the price of technology drops about 50% every year.
